<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 652361, member: 15309&quot;]If you are going to pass on all CAC stickered coins, you are going to be missing out on many really nice coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>You guys can bash the CAC all you want, but in the end, it sounds like sour grapes from most and lunacy from a few.&nbsp; The major benefit of a CAC sticker is that it creates a stable sight unseen market.&nbsp; How many people advise not to buy coins sight unseen?&nbsp; Just about everyone.&nbsp; Now how many collectors purchase coins over the internet having only seen a photo?&nbsp; Almost all of us, and those coins are sight unseen.&nbsp; Purchasing a CAC stickered coin alleviates the need to have a third party examine your coins for quality at a major auction that you can&#039;t attend in person.&nbsp; Furthermore, a stable sight unseen market would help dealers just as much as it does the collectors because it will greatly improve liquidity of inventory.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have stated many times before that I see no need for the CAC for any coin valued under $500.&nbsp; But for rare coins with significant value, the cost associated with the CAC sticker is nominal and the benefits far outweigh the cost.</p><p><br /></p><p>So Drusus, you can call people like me suckers, lemmings, or anything else you want because of your hatred of the TPG&#039;s and the CAC.&nbsp; But that doesn&#039;t make you right.&nbsp; The simple fact is that the majority of collectors can&#039;t grade worth a damn and are dependent upon the TPG&#039;s.&nbsp; What is worse is the majority of collectors who think they can grade a coin also can&#039;t grade worth a damn.&nbsp; These collectors routinely bash the TPG&#039;s.&nbsp; I wonder, are you one of them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
